1. Loose Waves

“Loose, sexy waves used to be seen as a more casual look, but we’ve seen celebrities rocking more glamorous waves at recent award shows and I’m sure we’ll continue to see lots of waves on the red carpet this fall” – Nina Farrauto, Stylist for Batiste™ Dry Shampoo Canada

About a month ago, I made the drastic decision to say goodbye to my natural brown hair colour and try a fun new reddish brown shade using new Vidal Sassoon Salonist hair colour. I loved the results and sharing my new colour with the world. But Vidal Sassoon wanted to know what you thought of its product too! Recently, twenty of my readers had the chance to review VS Salonist, and now they’re sharing their thoughts on the process and the results! Here are a few of the reviews; you can read even more on the pgeveryday.ca website!

This is probably the best hair colour that I have used since I started colouring my hair full time around 4 years ago. The process is quite messy and lengthy but I really love the results that I get from it. I have stubborn greys and they cover them without issues and they blend naturally in with the rest of my hair. My greys usually don’t hold colour well and fade quickly but a week later it is still holding up. My hair feels so nice when I am done and is much more manageable. I will continue using it in the future. ~newfiechic

When it comes to my hair, I’ve found that no single shampoo works all the time. Whether it’s because of my diet, the weather or just changing hormones, there are days my tresses scream for extra moisture, other days when I desperately lack volume and days when my hair is absolutely just the way I want it.

Luckily, I’ve assembled a pretty good assortment of favourite haircare lines for all my different needs. And the new Live Clean Vitamin Multi Boost shampoo and conditioner is my personal favourite choice for everyday haircare that leaves locks feeling clean, healthy and nourished. [Read more…]

Like most teenage girls, I used to love changing my hair with different at-home colour kits. I usually went red, sometimes added streaks of blonde and even considered going jet black. But then I let a few months pass between colourings shortly after turning twenty, and I remembered what a great natural hair colour I had. At that moment, I decided that I would stop colouring my hair and enjoy my own, natural tresses until my hair started going so grey that I had no choice but to dye it. At that point, I figured, I could go crazy with wild hair colours to my heart’s content.

I managed to fend off those days for quite awhile by yanking out the occasional grey hairs I found but now, at 35, I’m starting to think that I’m doing more damage to my hair by yanking out greys than I would be just dying it again! So I decided to take the plunge and colour my untouched hair for the first time in about 15 years…with a little help from Vidal Sassoon! The company’s new Salonist hair colour promised a salon-quality colouring experience due to a system that treats roots and lengths separately.

Choosing a colour was the biggest first step. I asked my fiance if I should pick a colour that was drastically different, slightly different or as close to my natural colour as possible. He thought that switching my colour up a bit with a slightly different change sounded fun, so I decided to go with a colour that I had a bit of past experience with and picked up two boxes of Vidal Sassoon Salonist Medium Reddish Brown.

With the gorgeous, unseasonably warm winter that we enjoyed here in Saskatchewan, my hair didn’t end up getting too damaged during the cold season. But my locks are still dryer and more brittle after months of exposure to the cold air and the lack of humidity that heating a house causes. March is a great time to rejuvenate and so this month, I’m doing just that to my hair with the new Moisture Renewal 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner treatment!

I absolutely love deep conditioners because they provide long-lasting smoothness and moisture with just a few minutes of work once a week or so. When my hair is at its best, I find that twice monthly treatments keep my locks luscious and full of shine. When it needs a little extra TLC, a once-weekly treatment is ideal. But either way, I love running my fingers through my soft, smooth strands after a deep conditioning!
